Eligibility checklist
Under the current HBCSE brochure, check all conditions, not only age:
- Birth between 1 July 2007 and 30 June 2012, inclusive.
- Studying in Class X, XI or XII when enrolling.
- Required Indian-passport eligibility and India/Indian-school-system study conditions.
- No Class XII completion before the specified 30 November 2026 boundary, and no university study beginning by the specified 1 June 2027 boundary.
- Not appearing in NSEJS 2026.
The brochure specifies residency/study timing and a separate provisional OCI policy. Read its complete eligibility section for your circumstances; this checklist cannot determine individual eligibility.
How the process works
- Read the current official notice and eligibility rules.
- Enrol through a registered centre or the official individual-student route when open.
- Check the selected subject, language, centre and personal details before paying.
- Keep the enrolment confirmation and obtain the admit card through the official process.
This website does not collect examination fees, accept registrations or issue admit cards. For an existing 2026 enrolment, use your official student login or centre contact.
